    Thanks for the updates, Shez and Shaz - sounds like a double act! I'll add them to the totals a bit later on.

    I've half-pimped my boob and hope to get it ready for posting off tomorrow and then I may knit a few more IS hats.

    Hey fellow wooligans!

    Don't think my total's been update I'm now at 22 INNOCENT SMOOTHIE HATS!!! Some of them are really beautiful if I say so myself.

    I was looking here on the loving hands website and they wanted blankets 12 by 15 inches for babies and 36 inches square for elderly people in Romania. Does anyone have a pattern for a blanket for those sizes? I've looked round the links and they all seem to end up much, much bigger. Alternatively does anyone know how I can edit a blanket pattern to be that size if you know what I mean? I'm a beginner so I need straight forward patterns.
  • Is there a pattern for the bibs? I am looking for something really easy to start with! Will any wool except fluffy do?

    Hi Ianna - I'll add your hats when I update later on today. It would be great if you could post a photo of them all on the Wooligans group - we'd love to see them!

    Hi Stormbreaker - good to meet you. Have you looked at the very first page of this thread? There's lots of info on there about all the different things we've been doing and please join us on here http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/Wooligan/ it's where we post all our photos. You'll need to 'apply' to join and I have to 'approve' you so look forward to seeing you there. Also, we do a lot of knitting for the Loving Hands group here www.lovinghands.org.uk - the lady who runs it, Lou, has had a very bad accident from which, thankfully, she is slowly recovering. The forums there are very active; most of us have joined. It's a great site.

    I see that Shezmit has posted links to patterns so thanks, Shez!

    Hi everyone - I know it's early but here's the update from yesterday! I didn't make anything because I had family round although I have nearly finished pimping my boob! My Mum has also made a lot more, including a 'baby pack' for the Linda McDonald Foundation, but I'm afraid I can't find the list so I can't add them at the moment!

    The first figures are for the STC (Save the Children) hats and the second is for the (IS) Innocent Smoothie hats which we can do in readiness for the go ahead of Sainsbury's next campaign.
